Charities Consultative Committee minutes - 22 November 2011

7. Other business

A 'receipting issues' hook-up was conducted on 21 November which clarified some outstanding queries including the need to use documentary evidence and date of receipt for donation records. Clear answers/definitions to receipting issues will be documented for everyone possibly with a fact sheet on www.ato.gov.au and an article in the Non-profit news service.

Action item	5
Description	Produce a fact sheet for www.ato.gov.au for all members to access, containing clear answers/definitions to receipting issues.
Responsibility	Michael Hardy
Due date	As soon as possible

Response to action item 5

The ATO hosted a phone conference with interested parties and worked through a number of scenarios. In most instances the advice about receipting is in ATO products, but probably not all grouped into one product geared to the NFP sector. The ATO will give consideration to a fact sheet or some similar product to group information, although the ATO priority is in assisting in the implementation of the ACNC at present.

A suggestion was made that Marty Lyons provide some specific information around GST guidance material at the next meeting.
